D2 5U with Hydraulic Loader

mbscat. Welcome. 👍

It’s a little hard to tell what you have. The photos don’t show much as to the total condition of the tractor….to me at least. I will say the loader looks like
an old TEALE Dozer-Loader. They were built by a Company of the same name TEALE & COMPANY of Omaha Nebraska years ago.

Here are some additional pictures that I have but I don't think they help much. I thought about buying the hydraulics system off of it and saving it for a different tractor down the road.

Although it is hard to accurately identify, it does appear to be a late model D2 (flat plate fenders, curved steering clutch levers and rounded battery box). It does have a caterpillar 2 spool hydraulic valve and street pads, so it obviously was set up with intentions of being a loader. It would be interesting to see if it has a 5 roller track frame (which I assume it would if intentions of being a loader were the consideration at the time of ordering). The chain looks a little skinny. @ $1250, even if it is junk, the machine is worth more if you were to part it out. It is definately worth saving. Having one with a factory installed after-market loader would put it into the unique D2 category. 👍

Here is the one and only picture I have of a Teal Loader.

There are a few photos of one in the Bob LaVoie D2 photo gallery book.

Sorry to ask but where do I find those pictures. I am still figuring this site out. By the way the tractor does have a 5 roller frame under it and a massive rear counter weight. Originally I was looking for a D2 with a dozer blade but a loader adds so much more functionality.

Does it run?? With any reasonable price I would buy that in a minute!!

It has to be worth at least 2-3k i would think probably even more depending on where it is..

It is in Northern Minnesota. Supposedly it ran 5 or 6 years ago with a locked steering clutch. The air cleaner is not installed and the hood was removed for pictures. I have not gotten to look at it in person to see if the engines still turn over. I am looking at buying it to fix up but some of the undercarriage looks pretty tough. He is asking $1250 and is threatening to scrap it if it does not sell.
